Hedge Fund Launch: Value Partners Absolute Greater China Classic Fund

New York (HedgeCo.net) – Hedge fund Manager Value Partners Group Limited announced that it has launched its first self-branded UCITS-compliant fund — Value Partners Absolute Greater China Classic Fund. The new fund will be headed by co-CIOs Cheah Cheng-hye and Louis So, who were named CIOs of the Year in 2011 by Asia Asset Management.

“Under the current Eurozone debt crisis and slow global growth environment, investors are keen to explore fund products that have an Asian focus and exposure.” Timothy Tse, Chief Executive Officer of Value Partners said, “This new UCITS Fund provides investors with an opportunity to access the strong growth potential in Greater China at a relatively attractive valuation through a well-recognized, regulated vehicle.”

The Fund aims to achieve long-term capital growth primarily through investment in equity and equity-related securities listed in the Asia Pacific, particularly in the Greater China region. It follows the same investment process of Value Partners’ flagship product, Value Partners Classic Fund, which has a 19-year track record in delivering a remarkable 20 times return since its launch in 1993. As a result of its outstanding performance, the Value Partners Classic fund was awarded Best Long-Term Performance Fund (10 years) by AsiaHedge Awards 2011.
